October Coaching Tips

By Silas Cullen of Smart Coaching

Every athlete enters IRONMAN for different personal reasons. For many people, IRONMAN is a way of proving that anything is possible. If someone is able to put their mind to a big challenge, then provided they get the right advice and prepare specifically, it is achievable. This stems into any of lifes challenges. When we reach 35, 40, 45 50, 55, 60, 65, 70... many athletes like to remind themselves that anything is possible. It is human nature to prove to ourselves that either, we can “still do it” or that we can achieve something as outstanding as an Ironman event for the first time.

Whatever your the personal reason for taking on IRONMAN, the journey has started towards IRONMAN New Zealand 2015. Preparation does not need to be specific as far as simulating the event just yet, but specific in terms of where you are at and what you personally need to work on physically and mentally.

Think about your reason for taking on this amazing challenge. If that makes you a little nervous then great. You have a healthy respect for IRONMAN. Chanel that nervous energy and plan out the logistics of the year well in advance.

Good luck comes to the well prepared. The single best thing you can do in preparation is the correct training. Set everything in place now and aim to be lucky in 2015!
